Just think about  We Indians strongly believe that we can correct the entire world, but we have established in long history of time that we cannot correct ourselves even a little. à´’à´¨്à´¨ു à´šിà´¨്à´¤ിà´š്à´šു à´¨ോà´•്à´•ൂ  നമ്മൾ ഇന്à´¤്യക്à´•ാർ à´²ോà´•à´¤്à´¤െ à´®ുà´´ുവൻ à´¤ിà´°ുà´¤്à´¤ാൻ à´ª്à´°ാà´ª്തരാà´£െà´¨്à´¨ു à´…à´¤ി ശക്തമാà´¯ി à´µിà´¶്വസിà´•്à´•ുà´¨്നവരാà´£്. à´Žà´¨്à´¨ാൽ à´¨ീà´£്à´Ÿ à´•ാà´² à´šà´°ിà´¤്à´°ം ഇതു à´¸്à´¥ാà´ªിà´š്à´šു à´•à´´ിà´ž്à´žു, à´¨ാം à´¸്വയം à´¤ിà´°ുà´¤്à´¤ാൻ à´ªോà´²ും à´¶േà´·ി ഇല്à´²ാà´¤്തവരാà´£െà´¨്à´¨ു.

KERALA ON THE VERGE OF ECONOMIC COLLAPSE

Image
Democracy ranking of the top ten countries in 2023 places Norway on the top and Afghanistan and North Korea on the bottom. India ranks 108th in the Electoral Democracy Index of 2023 of V-dem Democracy Index report. India is placed below Tanzania, Bolivia, Mexico, Singapore and Nigeria. This whole thing shows a picture somewhat close to our democratic system prevailing in our country. The states are also more or less following the same. One of the unique example is Kerala. In comparison Kerala is rated high in education, health, standard of living, NRI remittance per capita (Kerala has now been over taken by Maharashtra. Kerala's earning has dwindled from 19% to 10.2%) Kerala is now on a head down economic fall. Soon we shall be able to see the reflection in the following way. Building construction may come down drastically and consequently the allied shops may also constrained to be closed. Sale of vehicles in the state may fall considerably. Vehicles on road may also c...

LIFE AFTER DEATH

Image
While many believe that death is the beginning of a  new life, some may not agree with it. They may argue that death is the end of everything pertaining to human life or for that matter any life forms. There is however no scientific support for both claims, but science do suggest that nothing in this universe cease it's existence. Every living or non-living, at some point of time, change its form and become another. When we have paper with us, it is just a paper. When we burn this paper,  the carbon released joins with oxygen and form carbon dioxide. Join with the vapour in the air and form water. When it becomes water it is just known as water. This water has nothing to do with the earlier form of paper. Similarly, when a man is living in this world, he has a unique body, and denoted by a name. He recognises us and we recognise him. After his death, he cannot recognise us. What is left is the corpse of the one who lived till some time back. This corpse is buried i...

WHO WAS JUDAS ISCARIOT

Image
Judas Iscariot was born in the first  century in Keriot, Judaea. He was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. He was more obscure in the history of humanity and in the Christian theology as the great betrayer among mankind. However Judas too have written a Gospel, as in the cases of Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Philip as in the cases of some others. The Gospel of Judas was recovered from a cave in the Egyptian desert called El Minys in the 1970s.  No Christian community seems to have admitted any authenticity to this  write up. Jesus being the God Himself, expected to have known all about Judas before appointing as a disciple.   "Nathanael said to him,  'From where do you know me?'  Jesus responded and said to him, 'Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." When Jesus said this to Nathanael, "Nathanael answered him and said, 'Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel." (J...

THE KNANAYA COMMUNITY IN KERALA

Image
The antecedent of Knanaya Christians in Kerala begins from the arrival of the Syriac merchant Thomas of Cana (Knai Thoma) who led a migration of Jewish -Christians (early Syriac Christian) from the Mesopotamian province (today's Iraq) of Sassanian Persia (The Sassanian Empire encompassed all of present  day Iran and Iraq and stretched  from the Levant to the Indian subcontinent and from South Arabia to the Caucasus and the Central Asia) The original community consisting of about 400 people belonging to 72 families of 7 clans landed in today's Kodungallore of Kerala in 345 CE. All Knananites were Syrian Christians until the 'Koonan Kurishu Sathyam' in January 3, 1653. After this some of them accepted Jacobite faith and others Roman Catholic faith. A new Vicariate Apostolic was erected in Kottayam on August 29, 1911 exclusively for the Knanaya community. As per the Apostolic letter  "In Universi Christiani" of His Holiness Pope St Pius X and Mar Math...

CHURCH WITHOUT CHRIST

Image
What is happening in Syro Malabar Church is beyond imagination. It has become a Church without Christ. On the one side the Theological Leadership has become like army commandants and the so called believers community have become like armed revolutionists. In fact both do not know what they want to achieve. If it is aimed at any particular observation, one should very well know that Lord Jesus Christ has never taught even a prayer to the common man. The Lord said, "... when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret will repay you." (Mathew 6:6) When this is the way the Lord asked us to pray, the priesthood have got printed ship loads of prayers and circulated among the innocent faithful people. All the observances of today too have nothing to do with Jesus. The entire teaching of our Lord can be brought to a nutshell: "You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and wi...

HOW FAR WE CAN REPLACE DOLLAR WITH RUPEE?

Image
Present method of fixing international exchange rate may have deficiencies. At least some economists may agree with this statement. For the trading of commodities,  USD is accepted all over the world. That must be the prime reason to have the tendency of dollar always on the upper side. We may now find the prime factors that determine currency value. Inflation is the significant one in this. When price of a commodity rises more currency is needed to purchase the commodity. Therefore, exchange demands more currency. Another factor is interest rate. Whenever inflation takes place the Central Bank raises the interest rate to attract foreign currency and thereby bring down the inflation. Higher interest rate always boost the inflow of foreign currency and thereby enhance the exchange rate of the local currency. Political instability of a country and the country's existing public debt are also major factors influencing in bringing down the exchange rate of the local cur...

MAKE INDIAN YOUTH TOURISM PROMOTERS WITH GOOD EARNINGS

France , Spain, USA, China, Italy , Turkey, Mexico and Thailand have the highest income from tourism in the world in the recent past. Strangely arise a question in the minds of few Indians at least, what we are lacking in international tourism arena? We have almost every ingredient what a tourist likes to have. We have the highest mountain ranges. We have 10 river systems and over 400 big rivers spread across the country. Many of these rivers have their own birth stories. We have 7,13,789 sq km forest which makes 21.71% of the gegraphical area of the country with wide variety of animals. Of late, we added agro tourism also in the tourist's menu. We have considerable number of 'dream come true farm houses' in many states. Also large area of flower cultivation, tea gardens and spices gardens in selected regions. Alongwith all these  we can add a 500 acre Ayurvedic Complex preferably in Idukki district of Kerala. This should include Ayurvedi...

RELIGIONS DO NOT ADMIT ONE GOD PRINCIPLE

Image
Religions  are expected to be showing the path towards the Supreme One and all that they know about Him. Religious leaders pick up one God of their choice and present to the people. They pick up that one God just  for one reason that they are born in that religious faith and studied some of their books. However there are some insightful ones who are generally not attached to any particular but carry good knowledge about the top religions. They do not recommend any religious concept but ask the people to evaluate themselves and find whether it is adaptable or not. Leaving the religious ideology for the time being we may focus our attention to the scientific theory of God. Though science do not admit God by name, indirectly science present God in the Big Bang theory. As per Big Bang theory a tiny particle exploded at the beginning of time. When science admit the availability of the tiny particle, does not give satisfactory explanation where it has come from or who wa...

MORE ELDERLY PARENTS ARE ABANDONED IN KERALA

Image
We may sorrowfully notice the fact that the trend of abandoning old aged parents by children are increasing considerably in Kerala. While some parents are left in old age homes, some left in government hospitals and some are left in temples or in streets. According to available information about 16.5% of population of Kerala  constituted elderly people in 2015. This is likely to reach over 20% by 2023. Can we assure our own parents a comfortable old age living in our own houses? Before finding an answer to this, we may probe to find the answer that who are responsible to this situation. Number one is the parents themselves, because they could not make an unbreakable emotional attachment to the children. The next is our educational system. So far, it seems that our educational system has not identified this issue as an important one to be included in the school syllabus at appropriate density. Then comes our religions. They are more concerned in protecting the all powerf...
